The angle ABE is opposite the angle CBE and therefore, they are equal; hence,

ABE = 50°

The angle ABC and CBE are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180; therefore,

ABC + 50° = 180°

subtracting 50° from both sides gives

ABC = 120°

The angle EBD is opposite the angle ABC and therefore, they are equal; hence, we have

EBD = ABC = 120°

EBD = 120°

To summarize, our answers are

a. ABC = 120°

b. ABE = 50°

c. EBD = 120°
